Actress Jessica Alba took on masculine persona as teenager to avoid Hollywood predators, actress revealed on HBO Max and CNN’s ‘Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?’
Fantastic Four star began acting when she was only 13 and landed her breakthrough role as Max Guevara on Fox’s Dark Angel at age of nineteen.
“I guess I understood that I needed to help sell product,” Alba told Wallace when asked if it concerned her that media portrayed her as sex symbol.
“And they sell it how they do so I understood it as business decision and strategy. And so I was able to distance myself from it. But I guess, you know, you can’t change other people’s minds about what they may or may not think of you. I don’t think that there’s anything wrong with owning your sexuality. I just frankly was definitely not that person. I was very nervous about all of that and I was quite uncomfortable in my own skin.”
“It wasn’t until I became mom that I really started to even see myself as woman or sexual being or someone who owned her power and her femininity,” Alba continued.–Agencies
